The attraction of the world wide web has no end. From social to porn, movies to music, gaming to business, information to crazy debate...There is always something that really grabs our attention. Although i was mindful enough to remind myself of guarding my sense door, it's hard not to lose grip when the hindrance keep ambushing from every direction.

So it is...They try to find somethink to flood their mind and not feel dukkha... Poor beings.

Sometimes I have little motivation, so I do several things to get myself motivated.

1 - Listen to dhamma talks, read about the benefits of meditation2 - Use a guided meditation for my sitting, the structure and guidance helps when one is unmotivated3 - Read some short suttas before sitting, especially ones which have to deal with the shortness of life or the importance of practice (the mountain simile for example)4 - Reflection on death and mortality, it is not hard to find videos of death and dead bodies on the internet...I'll leave that to you guys to find them on your own.... This is pretty powerful stuff, so if you have a weak stomach just think about your own mortality abstractly. 5 - Find a teacher, sangha, buddy - this is very powerful as well, if you're doing it alone, you don't have to.
